WHICH CONTENDERS MIGHT GET OTHER OSCAR NOMINATIONS?
NOVEMBER 19, 2022
NOVEMBER 19, 2022
(Ireland, South Korea, Belgium)
Right now, with around a month to go before the list of 92 films are reduced to 15, we are predicting that the following films will be nominated for the Oscars:
Argentina - Argentina, 1985
Belgium - Close
Germany - All Quiet on the Western Front
Ireland - The Quiet Girl
Spain - Alcarras
Belgium - Close
Germany - All Quiet on the Western Front
Ireland - The Quiet Girl
Spain - Alcarras
At the moment, it feels like Close is the current frontrunner. No other film this year has had such an impact on viewers. It's devastatingly raw and the film seems to be leading the pack right now ahead of the other 91 films in contention. Following right behind is Argentina, 1985 and All Quiet on the Western Front. Both have been receiving a lot of momentum lately, and being released and available on Amazon and Netflix does nothing but help both films. Alcarras is also getting some of the best reviews of the year and Spain is always a contender so we feel like it's in for now. There's also always a "surprise" nominee and this year we feel like it's between The Quiet Girl or Joyland. Both films are the best of the best, and both films have been winning award after award on the festival circuit. They're receiving some of the best reviews of the year. For now, we feel like the Irish film will get nominated.
Along with Joyland, it feels wrong to not include Decision to Leave, Saint Omer, Corsage and Holy Spider but with so many great films submitted this year, some will miss out, unfortunately.
Now recently more and more International Feature contenders have been getting nominated in other categories as well. Last year alone, Drive My Car was nominated for best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay. The Worst Person in the World was nominated for best original screenplay. The year before that Another Round was nominated for best director. And in 2020, Parasite won best picture, best director, and best original screenplay and it was nominated for best editing and best production design. Pain and Glory was nominated for best actor.

(Mexico - Bardo)
It seems like All Quiet on the Western Front, Decision to Leave and Corsage are the three films that, right now, might be getting nominated in other categories.
We think that the German film will get nominated for best picture, best cinematography and best production design. Decision to Leave might be able to get in for best director and best original screenplay. It should be in for best cinematography as well. Vicky Krieps is astounding in Corsage and it might get in for best costume too. Bardo was a huge contender before it premiered at the Venice Film Festival, but it's been dropping after the reviews have been coming out. We feel that Close is being underrated right now in picture and original screenplay.
As for now, this is where we feel that the race is going. Keep checking for more updates.
